Those of you who play and love beach volleyball know how much of a simple pleasure it is. No shoes, no coaches, no club dues and no time limit. All in all it is a the simple complexity and lifestyle that it offers which is always calmly calling us back to the sand, free of a shirt and in a place where we all feel like part of a small family. This is a family of hard-working people that keep making time to play out of the love of the game, not because it pays the bills, but because it puts life’s hardest moments in perspective. To those of you that have already discovered this, keep living the dream. And to those who have not, I encourage you to give it a chance. Feel the sand between your toes and the sun on your back. Stare into a sun setting over incoming waves and play the game in its most awesome state and let it become part of you life. - Marc Lomeli
